I have had two near misses, neither required stiches(there was nothing to stitch), but I sure took out large chunks of skin!
I took off about 1/16" of the soft part of my pinky with a Joiner(friends say it should have sucked my hand in, that is what joiners do, I got lucky).
Then I was using a dull table saw blade and put a 1/8" hole in the end of my index finger when I pushed to hard.
SAFETY FIRST folks!
I learned my lessons the hard way, and now I do as norm abrams says, read understand and follow all the safety instuctions that come with your equipment!
